By Nick McNamara Verified| WHRO-TV (Norfolk, VA) Verified Shannon Wolfe gets emotional talking about her adult son, Ian. Ian, 28, is autistic and his behavior can sometimes become extreme. It’s made finding day support programs in Suffolk difficult. Ian’s been discharged from programs before because of his behavior, sometimes leaving Wolfe and her husband, Bennie, little choice but to leave Ian home while they work. Shannon Wolfe said doing so strained Ian’s mental health.
